Each quarter, Kingsley Associates releases its Multifamily Industry Trends. Here are a few highlights, based on surveys conducted at over 800,000 apartment units in the four quarters ending in June of 2011:

• After peaking in the middle of 2010, resident satisfaction and renewal intent continued to trend downward
• Residents in Chicago reported the highest level of satisfaction of any major market
• Community management was as big a factor as apartment features/finishes for residents unlikely to renew their leases

• Tenant satisfaction is at an all-time high
• Interest in green building practices is beginning to trail off ever so slightly
